……很怪。这本书是一场对话，马可·波罗向忽必烈讲述他王国里的城市。我是通过 Jacob Geller 的视频论文《Cities without people》[3] 知道这本书的。铃木光司的《Ring》[4]。这是我最早读的恐怖小说之一，也是 Ring 系列的第一本。《Ring》系列电影就是根据这本书改编的。我还读了第二本，它提供了一个非常不同的视角……
…weird. This book is a conversation, where Marco Polo is telling Genghis Khan of the cities within his kingdom. I was introduced to this book by Jacob Geller's video essay "Cities without people" [3]. "Ring" by Koji Suzuki [4]. One of my first horror book reads, and also the first in the Ring series. The "Ring" movies are based off of this book. I also read the 2nd one, which provides a very different view…
……处理这个题材最好的虚构作品之一出自日本作家铃木光司。如果这个名字你不熟，就别往下读了——下面有重大剧透！《Ring》系列（对，就是那个《Ring》——有那个爬电视的诡异念力女鬼的）的最后一本，是一部迷人、有哲学意味、真正的“科幻”小说，讲的是被困在模拟中的 AI 的困境，它……
One of the best works of fiction to tackle this subject was by Japanese writer Koji Suzuki. If the name's unfamiliar, read no further - MAJOR SPOILERS ahead! The final book in the 'Ring' series (yes, that 'Ring' - the one with the creepy TV-crawling telekinetic dead girl) was a fascinating, philosophical, true 'science fiction' novel about the plight of AIs trapped in a simulation that…
Koji Suzuki's 'Ring' series - the novels on which the horror movies were based - has a very interesting slant on this idea; well worth reading. (Don't be misled by the movies: the second and third books in the trilogy are…
